Love that glass shader effect. Looks like everything is painted onto sheets of glass. But however you try to wrap it up...
There's much more than these like the 3d video and photo sorting animations that must be seen to be appreciated. It's spectacular to watch it.

For the first time in MS history Windows Vista beta version released 1 week ahead of August 3 i.e 27 July 2005.

Windows Vista beta version has been released on 27 July 2005 for 10,000 researchers and will be later made available to about 500,000 people who are members of Microsoft's MSDN developer program or its Technet program for corporate technology workers.

Sorry I forgot the source.

I suspected the Image to be fake....

Any way If Windows would really hade those Cool Looks.....then I would Say why Is Microsoft trying to be Like MAC.

It always copies & will Never Change Unless Someone in the managment changes its focus from Marketing to Stablity !!!

Check this video out man I found in the web:- Bill Gates (Win98 Crashes)

How windows stands pathetically to its prospective buyers in front of Bill Gates !!!

What was he thinking!!!
Looks true. this months digit also carries some screenshots. BTW anyone know how much it will cost yet?

@QWERTYManiac 512 ram is getting quite common and by the time vista releases it should b standard. dirx 9 card is not needed but if u want the visials ....!

Be the first to comment!Windows Vista Beta 2 Preview Shots!!

Just weeks after releasing Windows Vista Beta 1, Microsoft has shifted our paradigms again, unveiling a preview of beta 2 at the TechEd 2005 developer conference this morning.

Among the breakthrough new features shown to the 2,000 developers paying $2,000 each to attend TechEd: Solitaire with new background images, a scrolling Alt+Tab bar and Microsoft's version of Mac OS X's Expose function, which allows all the open Windows to be viewed at once.
